8 Best Korean Restaurants in Ithaca

“I've been having great experiences with Bibibowl, ate there almost everyday for lunch and dinner because of the healthy choices. But the new person (new guy?) gave me the tiniest portion of meat that I had to asked why it's so little compared to before; they didn't seem to get what I meant tho :(“

“The Lotus in Downtown Ithaca is a fantastic spot! The food is absolutely delicious, with rich flavors and a great variety of dishes. The friendly staff makes the dining experience even better, providing attentive and warm service. The owner was incredibly welcoming, taking the time to greet customers and ensure everyone felt at home. It’s clear they take pride in the quality of both their food and hospitality. Whether you’re visiting Ithaca or a local, I highly recommend The Lotus for a delightful meal and wonderful atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“THIS IS THE BEST KOREAN RESTAURANT IN ITHACA HANDS DOWN. I love this place so much. The women who works here is also so sweet. The menu is so great and diverse. The food is well spiced and actually spicy!! Please come if you like real Korean or Chinese food. It’s a comfort spot for sure! Jayook Kimchi is my fav dish here.“

“The staff was great and the food was amazing. We did the barbecue, it was a ton of food. I can't wait to go back!“

“Four seasons has never let me down. In the 10-ish years I’ve lived here, I must have ordered food form four seasons maybe 25+ times. Our meal is always excellent, on time, and provided by friendly people. I look forward to every visit :) try the short ribs, they’re my favorite thing there“

“(This review is based on a previous experience in 2022, I can't speak for what it is now) Very grateful that they remain open on Thanksgiving. Not a big fan of Bibimbap but the Pajun (kind of like pancake with vegetable) is quite good.“

“This is one of the few restaurants in Collegetown that offer tasty, nutritious, affordable and clean Asian food that makes me feel good not only during the meal but also the next day. I am running a trail race tomorrow morning, and I chose to come here for dinner because I knew I would leave with my taste buds and muscles satisfied. Also, the Korean lady that owns the place is always so warm! Highly recommend Gam Ja Tang (pork bone soup with rice)!“
